Solid info from Neil would result in a TBC. Until that time, I reckon there's all to play for.

That's as much caution as anything else. After all, I have been wrong once or twice when I have TBC'd. I feel I need a bit more corroboration to mark them up.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure they're right.

Just need someone to sabotage that banjo and the top tier will be looking as shiny as a new pin.

Legend slot still looking like kylie?

Is there precedent, The Who in 2015 aside, of a completely left field UK act being announced? For the last few years I've been going every UK headliner has been rumoured in the build up, even Radiohead despite them being announced very early doors. The lack of any solid info/rumour for who the third headliner might be suggests to me it's definitely not a UK based act.

Gaga seems right to me. In 2017 was there not rumour of a secret set? Didn't she give an interview where she skirted around the Glastonbury question? Might be that she was lined up or already booked for 2019.

one I'll chuck in, just because I heard it yesterday from a music biz source - tho I really don't think it's right.

Bruce Springsteen.

I heard it is a three night residency in the acoustic tent doing his broadway show, they are going to need a bigger camping chair area.

I've got no idea on the 3rd.

 

You’re not favouring Stormzy then? Based on his Instagram post or whatever it was?

Not technically UK, but it's close enough - U2 were very much out of the blue when they were first announced for 2010. They'd been heavily rumoured (and from a contact I had in their organisation back then, at one point had actually agreed to do it) for 2005, but barely a word was said in the subsequent years until they announced it out of the blue.

Of course.

Bob Dylan

Lynyrd Skynyrd will make their long overdue Glastonbury debut and the strains of Free Bird will ring out over the misty fields of Avalonia. You heard it here first.

[twirlygirl]

Pyramid: 

Lady Gaga / Rod Stewart / Macca

 

I'm sure there will be lurking somewhere Rita Ora (West holts maybe) and The Cure and The 1975 somewhere near the OS

But then what do I know, I added on a list of who'd I like there, the wonderful RuPaul ???

Not sure if a band that stopped playing in front of the Confederate flag because of it's racist connotations, and then reversed this decision because of protests from rednecks is the sort likely to be booked for Glastonbury. Besides, only Gary Rossington is left from the classic line-up.

[CaledonianGonzo]

One of them is Richard Ashcroft in a big hat.

All kinds of problematic twats have been allowed on the bill ? that's showbiz, kid.

I was watching the Bowie set the other day and someone in the crowd was waving one.

They've been mentioned in a few threads today but I must confess I didn't  expect them to turn up in the Headliners thread.

My other half is a graphic designer and I think she would take issue with the typograhy at the top, unless they are trying to be clever and it’s me . The r’s look like v’s and why two types of S ? 

Legendary band though .

Regardiing the flag, years ago when ZZ Top played Monsters of Rock they were in abundance 

[Woffy]

Jesus Christ, I’ve only been away for about 3 hours - Lynryd Skynyrd???!!!

I’m off to the safety, comfort and hope of that new Hot Chip thread.

Lynyrd Skynyrd appear to have *checks notes* one founder member.

One might argue that the farewell tour took place a few decades ago.

On the white male theme, I don’t think we can dismiss the Killers. They were many peoples most likely after the secret set. And surely bigger than banjos.
